Abstract: 1,213,767. Shuttleless looms; weft inserters that beat-up. R. B. GOLOBART. 22 April, 1969 [25 April, 1968], No. 20547/69. Heading DIE. A weft inserter 1 has rollers 13, 14 which run on a stationary reed and a disc 10 which beats-up a previously laid weft 7. The weft 7 is guided through eyes 6, 5 in a cover 4 (Fig. 2) through an eye 40 in the inserter and through an eye 26 in a pivoted guide 24 which moves with a spring clamp 27. In use a previously laid weft 7 extends from the selvedge and through the inserter (Fig. 3, not shown) to the supply. As the inserter enters the shed a stop 41 pivots the guide 24 and clamp 27 to clamp the weft to the inserter and a cutter 44, 45 severs the previously laid weft. As the inserter passes into theshed it beats-up the previous weft and takes in the new weft. At the far side of the shed a member 50, on retraction of the inserter, clamps the new weft and pivots the guide 24 and clamp 27 so that the weft may pull through the inserter, as it retracts, to the Fig. 3 position.

Abstract: 807,475. Capacitors. TELEPHONE MANUFACTURING CO. Ltd. May 10, 1957 [July 3, 1956], No. 20568/56. Class 37. A wound strip capacitor having a capacitance which conforms accurately to its design value is made by winding up a strip of dielectric material and inserting electrodes at different times in the winding process. The value of the capacitance is set by winding a predetermined length of dielectric in the period between the insertion of a first and of a second electrode, by winding the dielectric roll to a given size before insertion of the electrodes, or by varying the width of the electrodes. The electrodes may be of aluminium, copper, or nickel, and have a terminal attached suitably of tinned copper wire which may be secured by spot-welding. By using a succession of electrodes a multiple or tapped capacitor may be made.

Abstract: 665,786 Centrifugal machines. SOC. ANON. DES USINES J. GALLAY. Aug. 8, 1949 [Aug. 12, 1948], No. 20612/49. Class 23 [Also in Group VIII] A laundering machine includes a washing tank 10 which is rotatable about an inclined axis 17 and has a drain pipe 23 for discharging the water from the tank as a result of rotational movement of the tank, the inlet opening of the pipe 23 being arranged at a distance from the axis 17. The axis 17 is preferably inclined at an angle of between 40 degrees and 60 degrees to the horizontal. The tank 10 is preferably non-cylindrical in shape with unequal ends to enable the clothes to be spin dried. It is driven by an electric motor 15 connected thereto by a belt 16 which rests. directly on the lateral wall of the tank. The wall of the tank is smooth and has no openings, the base being provided with a false bottom 18 perforated round the edge at 19 and. with a removable central portion 20. The device for draining the copper includes a circular channel 22 situated under the false bottom 18, the drain pipe 23 being carried by a fixed hollow supporting tube 24 passing through a hollow supporting shaft 11. The drain-pipe 23 has the shape of a pilot tube and is streamlined, its inlet aperture 27 being situated in the channel 22 and directed against the current of liquid. The tube 24 is connected to a pipe 29 controlled by a two-way cock 30 communicating with an exhaust pipe 31 and a feed pipe 32. The machine includes a cabinet 33 with an aperture 34 coinciding with the mouth 35 of the tank. When the water sinks to a certain level during draining, washing is automatically replaced by drying, and the two operations may be carried out at practically the same speed. In a modified construction, Fig. 4 (not shown), the tank is wider at the top than at the bottom and the fixed drain and feed pipe enters through the mouth of the tank. The clothes are kept away from the inlet of the drain pipe by means of a perforated annular diaphragm near the top of the tank. The motor 15 can be electric or hydraulic and may be directly attached to the shaft of the tank. The tank may be rotated at a greater speed for drying, and it may be fitted with a removable basket for the clothes.

Abstract: 257,930. Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges. Sept. 1, 1925, [Convention date]. Gas analysis.-In estimating the percentage of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture containing also carbon monoxide by determining the capacity of the mixture to absorb radiant heat, the errors due to the presence of carbon monoxide are reduced by the insertion of quartz filters between the source and the receivers of the radiation, the filters eliminating, for the most part, the radiation which would have been absorbed by the carbon monoxide and possibly by other gases present in the mixture. Suitable apparatus comprises vessels 1, 2 containing respectively the gas to be treated and air, a source of radiation 3, bolometric resistances 4, 5, and quartz windows 7 - - 10 arranged between the source 3 and the resistances 4, 5; the windows 7, 9, or the windows 8, 10, may, however, be dispensed with.

Abstract: 1,204,661. Photo-transistor circuits. J. COYLE. 14 Aug., 1967 [14 May, 1966], No. 21535/66. Heading H3T. [Also in Division G1] The invention relates to a circuit for controlling the dipping (or dimming) of vehicle headlamps, utilizing a photo-transistor 39 biased by a photo-resistor 40, which are sensitive to light from the headlamps of oncoming vehicles. When this combination is illuminated, relay 33 is energized and the coil 21 de-energized to cause switching from "beam" 24 to "dipped" 26 lights. The relay 33 circuit, once energized, is locked by resistor 37 even in the absence of oncoming vehicles. A photo-sensitive device 41, also comprising a photo-transistor and photo-resistor, is mounted at the near offside of the vehicle to sense the flash of light as the "oncoming" vehicle finally passes. This device 41 when illuminated, causes energization of a third relay coil 42, which breaks the supply to the relay coil 33 which initiated dipping, and the full beam is restored. The circuit includes a manual dip switch 29 which can at any time be used to dip the beam, but cannot override automatic dipping to restore full beam.
